Abstract

Digitally coded optical solitons at 5 and 10 Gb/s have been successfully transmitted over 400 and 300 km, respectively, using erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and repeaters. The soliton pulse source is a gain-switched distributed-feedback laser diode with spectral windowing. The repeater spacing for the 10-Gb/s transmission with an input soliton of A=1.4 is 25 km, which is extended to 50 km for 5-Gb/s transmission with an input soliton of N=1.8-2.0
